Jason Matthew Logan
Jason Matthew Logan, 30, died at the Hamilton County Jail in Tennessee on May 5, 2011. His mother, Suzanne Logan, said he struggled with addiction and depression for years and had told jail staff he was depressed. Jail employees found him hanging in his cell, and a medical examiner's report listed suicide by hanging, saying he used a torn blanket the jail had bought as suicide-resistant. Suzanne Logan said she is looking for answers, and the family buried him the Monday after his death. The sheriff's office declined to comment while an investigation was pending.
Cause of death, as reported: Died by suicide. The Hamilton County medical examiner's report says he hanged himself with a torn blanket that the jail had bought as suicide-resistant.
